I’d say it was maybe 6 months? Mine was a bright-ish teal color too so it started to look bad fairly quickly. Unfortunately the cheap silicone ones do last longer for me. But you really can’t beat the level of customization you can do on your own print. I’d wager you can probably get a lot longer out of it if you did a black or darker color filament.

Nice tip, I didn’t try that. Just used regular soaps, elbow grease, and I think I tried some rubbing alcohol as well. Those didn’t make much of a difference.

I’ll be sure to try bleach in the future.

Looks great!

I made a TPU phone case a while back as well with some neat custom cutouts on the back. I really liked it, but the heavy use/touching made the case get off-color and dirty looking, especially on the edges, with no way to clean it off.

I could see bandwidth being a big issue if the community grows as well, considering images aren’t cached on your local instance so that could easily take down a smaller server or cause a huge unexpected spike in costs.

I feel like we need a good third option, but I’m not even sure what that would look like. Maybe something distributed like IPFS.
